About Amie

Amie Sherrill-Pierce is a licensed professional counselor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, parenting decisions, and relationship strain. She writes plainly and listens carefully so parents can talk through immediate concerns. Her style is practical and steady, with attention to everyday problems and how they affect family life.

With 15 years of experience, Amie draws on approaches that help people manage mood and change habits that get in the way of feeling better.

Background and approach

She addresses depression, coping with life changes, and communication problems with clear, hands-on guidance. She also supports those dealing with divorce and separation, forgiveness, isolation, and men’s issues. Amie brings a faith-informed perspective and respects each person’s beliefs and values while working together on goals.

Sessions focus on building coping skills, repairing connections, and finding everyday strategies that fit each household. The aim is to help people regain steadiness and move forward at a pace that feels right. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral techniques are mixed with a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s priorities at the center.

Amie explains options in simple language and helps people try small changes that can make daily life easier. She encourages gradual steps rather than quick fixes. Working from Michigan, Amie offers phone, video, chat, and text-based sessions.

Costs vary by location and the subscription model allows cancellation at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with her and schedule sessions based on availability.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist creates space for people to share their values and priorities, and helps them set goals that feel realistic and meaningful. This approach is useful when someone needs understanding and clear guidance for personal decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress or low mood. It breaks problems into specific steps and offers exercises to practice between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to focus more on listening and support, targeted skill-building, or a mix of both.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between appointments. Many people find the range of formats helps them stay consistent with care and try new skills in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
